"Wine jar? Wu Lang likes wine?"
That's not very obvious.
Wu Lang has a wild face, but because he is too handsome and looks like a girl, he gives people the impression that he is a teetotaler. But good wine is not a big deal. In the current chaotic world, people are bold and generous, and everyone, young or old, can have a few drinks.
A person with a good alcohol tolerance can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Shen Tang was about to answer when he got stuck again.
By the way, how is her alcohol tolerance
"Wulang, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Seeing Shen Tang distracted and dazed, Chu Yao called her back to her senses.
Shen Tang shook his head.
That's how troublesome it is to have your memory stolen.
She said depressedly: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just wondering how much I can drink... I don't think I can drink that much?" As a stay-at-home painter, her alcohol tolerance should not be very good.
Chu Yao laughed when he heard this, thinking that only a young man of this age would care about such a small matter. He was too proud and thin-skinned, and was afraid that he would be laughed at by others for his poor alcohol tolerance.
He comforted her in a tactful way.
"Everything is good in moderation. Drinking a little can make you happy, but drinking too much can hurt your body. Wulang is at the age of growing up, so it's okay for him to drink a little. It won't be too late to practice drinking when he's older."
Shen Tang: “…”
I always feel like they are not on the same wavelength when talking.
As soon as the market opened, there was an endless stream of people and vehicles. The vendors with fixed stalls set up their stalls early to hawk their wares, while the peddlers carrying their stalls walked through the streets.
Chu Yao stopped his mule-riding motorcycle in front of a familiar tavern. Not far away was the butcher shop where he often bought fish. Occasionally, someone who knew him would greet him, and he would nod in response.
Chu Yao: "The wine in this wine shop is quite authentic."
Most of them are sweet wines, which should be more suitable for the young man's taste. The key is that a jar of wine is not expensive.
Shen Tang said: "I don't buy wine, I buy wine jars."
Just buy the wine jar but not the wine
This is rare.
Chu Yao didn't know what Wu Lang was going to do, but he didn't ask in detail. He took him to another shop not far away, which was engaged in the pottery business and also sold wine jars. The wine jars of the previous wine shop were purchased from this shop, and he knew how much they cost.
Shen Tang looked at the goods and ordered ten earth-brown round-bellied wine jars at once. The jars were round and the bottoms were only the size of a palm.
Chu Yao finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"Why did Wulang buy the wine jar?"
"Selling wine! It's a pity that this jar is not exquisite enough, otherwise it would be packaged as a fine wine, specifically to deceive the rich and the fools."
Chu Yao asked: "Wulang, do you have the skill to brew wine?"
"No, but you can give anything a try."
Chu Yao’s smile gradually froze: “???”
Give it a try
He watched Shen Tang buy a long wooden bench and sit down at a random corner of the street. He laid out jars of wine one by one, looking like he was selling wine at a bar.
However, Chu Yao knew very well that the wine jars were empty.
How to sell alcohol here
Shen Tang took out a small carving knife from the pouch on his waist.
The small carving knife was as smooth as an arm in her hand. After a short while, she had carved a big word "wine" on the wooden board.
With a clang, she placed the wooden sign on the stall.
Chu Yao was watching from the sidelines, confused as to what his "destiny" was trying to do - was it selling alcohol or air
Even if it's just some water, it's better than selling air.
Passersby couldn't help but cast some surprised or curious glances in this direction - the main reason was that the size and skin color of the motorcycle were too eye-catching, the second was that the painting styles of Shen Tang and Chu Yao were incompatible, and the last was the simple wine stall.
Some people even saw Shen Tang and the other man come out of the pottery shop and knew that the wine jars were empty, not even filled with water.
"What are you selling, young lady?"
Those who have nothing better to do come up and ask.
Shen Tang said: "I sell wine."
The passerby pointed to the wine jar and said, "But this is empty."
"It's empty now, but if you want to buy, it will be full. A jar of wine weighs two catties and costs three hundred coins. No bargaining!"
Passersby laughed out loud when they heard it.
Not to mention that the price is more expensive than the old wine in the tavern. Even if it is cheap, who would be crazy enough to spend three hundred coins to buy a jar of air or water
"Young lady, are you suffering from hysteria?" The passerby said to Chu Yao without waiting for Shen Tang to answer, "Old man, don't accompany your granddaughter to go crazy. There is still savings at home. Go to the street medicine store to check your brain. If you go early, maybe you can still save her."
Chu Yao: “…”
He didn't understand what Wu Lang was doing, but he didn't intend to stop him. He just wanted to know what Shen Tang was up to.
Ah, no, it’s about what kind of wine is being sold in the wine jar!
"Young lady, how much is this wine?"
Shen Tang sat on a simple stool, holding her chin with both hands and watching the passers-by. Just as she was thinking about whether to call out, a figure blocked the sunlight above her head. She and Chu Yao looked at the figure at the same time, and when they saw the person clearly, they couldn't help but secretly think that he was very handsome.
The man who came was indeed a handsome and outstanding young man.
Judging from his appearance, he is just past the age of dancing elephant.
Although the cloth he wore was made of ordinary material, his long hair was tied up with a red rope, his wrists were tied with black ropes, his waist was tied with coarse cloth, and he wore straw sandals, he still looked noble. This was because his skin was pale and his speech was neat, and he looked like someone who could not be raised by an ordinary family.
Looking at his appearance, his nose is like a hanging gall bladder, his lips are like painted fat, and the most outstanding thing about his face is undoubtedly his pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. Although there is no curve at the corners of his lips, looking at those eyes always makes you feel that the boy is smiling, which is cute and kind.
Chu Yao looked at the boy of about sixteen or seventeen in front of him, and then looked at the empty wine jars on his own Wulang Liquor stall.
I suspect the words “sucker” are written on his forehead.
Shen Tang came back to his senses and asked, "Do you want to buy some wine?"
Boy: “Can’t buy it?”
Shen Tang said, "If you can buy it, of course you can buy it. A jar of wine is two catties and three hundred coins. No bargaining. Do you really want to buy it, young master?"
The young man took out a dime from his purse.
With a thud, he placed it on the wooden bench.
He said boldly: "Buy!"
Chu Yao: “…”
Passersby who were watching the fun were also chattering in low voices.
I didn't expect that there are people who are stupid enough to buy empty wine jars.
Shen Tang weighed the dime of silver and put it in his pocket with satisfaction. He raised his hand and grabbed an empty wine jar. Before he could make a move, the young man stretched out his hand: "Young lady, you want to sell me an empty wine jar?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction behind him.
Frowning, aggrieved: "How can business be like this?"
Shen Tang asked back with a smile: "When did I say I would sell you the empty wine jar? You are an interesting young man. If you are worried that I will sell out the wine jar, why do you still "generously" give money and get cheated? Aren't you afraid of losing both money and wine?"
Chu Yao secretly tugged at Shen Tang's sleeve.
He nodded at the boy's waist.
Shen Tang was puzzled at first, but when he looked over, he found a dark-colored tiger-head jade disk hanging from the boy's waist. There were dark golden patterns on the disk, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be small seal characters. However, the color of the disk was too similar to the clothes, so he didn't notice it at first.
Shen Tang: “…”
Wudan tiger talisman.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
No wonder you don’t worry about being cheated.
If someone really cheated them of their money, the young man would probably overturn the stall on the spot and beat the unscrupulous businessman severely to eliminate the harm to the people.
The young man had no idea what was going on in Shen Tang's mind. He stared at the wine jar in her hand and urged, "Young lady, where's my wine?"
Shen Tang snorted.
Stimulate literary mind.
He recited: "When you are moved, you should be generous, and when you are worried, you can't forget it."
